Open Yale Courses launched in December 2007 with seven courses from various departments. The project now includes 42 courses from a broad range of introductory courses taught at Yale college.[1] The initiative was funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,[2] which has supported other universities' OpenCourseWare projects.[3] As of August 2014 some of Yale's Open Courses are delivered by the European MooC platform Eliademy.[4]
